2024-2025 Weekly Visiting Scholar Seminar Series
September 11 – December 11
We’re thrilled to welcome a new cohort of visitor scholars from universities around the world. Every Wednesday, join us for research presentations and lively discussions featuring both our visiting scholars and Berkeley scholars.
This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and connect with the broader academic community. Whether you’re already part of the IRLE community or simply interested in the talks, everyone is welcome. Plus, there will be pizza!
